Start the donor car engine 1st, then attach positive, then negative. After you've done that, start the 2nd engine.
Once the 2nd engine is running disconnect the jump cables, and leave it running for a few mins. Then do a few miles so the alternator can charge up the battery.
If it won't start again, either your alternator is screwed, or your battery.And the lord said unto John; "come forth and receive eternal life." But John came fifth and won a toaster.Comment

That is what I want to know. So it clips the large nuts. The bottom one large nuts are not exactly grip worthy, in the sense, they are held together by some kind of clamp. So where does the jump lead clamp go in the bottom battery ?Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !Comment
